This 12-suite lodge is on a secluded hilltop, giving you incredible views from every window. You’ll love the world-class dining, infinity pool, and private bungalows. Located in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, this lodge is part of the Masai Mara, but it’s outside the national park, which means the only safari vehicle in sight will be yours.
